Chapter 23: Subspecies Evolution
After capturing Xuanyun Mountain, Li Mo handed over the problem of garrisoning to Xu Mingdong to deal with, and returned to the gathering place with Gao Meng the next day.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is February of the following year.
In the past two months, Li Mo has hardly left the gathering place, and has been making final preparations for the upcoming new stage of the end times.
Early this morning, after breakfast, he left the second courtyard and went to the central building.
When Li Mo rushed to the large conference room on the sixth floor of the top floor of the center building, several bigwigs had already arrived.
"Xiao Li is here, come on, come on, sit down."
Seeing him come in, the bigwigs all got up to greet him.
Now these old guys have become capable people, which can be described as a spring breeze.
Although in Li Mo's opinion, they who sit in the office all day long, using the evolutionary pituitary gland and mutant genes, are really a waste of resources.
But human society is like that, there will never be such a thing as fairness.
Therefore, except for guarding the one-third of an acre of land in the No. 2 Courtyard, Li Mo rarely interfered in other matters.
And the bigwigs are naturally very satisfied with his attitude, and they get along with each other very well.
After sitting down, after a few words of greeting, Duan Xiao turned to the topic: "Xiao Li, do you have any research results on those insect corpses that were sent to your research institute a few days ago?" ”
During this period, although a lot of manpower and material resources were spent on the agglomeration, a major clean-up of the surrounding towns was carried out. However, due to the large number of zombies, the progress of cleaning up is naturally limited.
And just a few days ago, the kind of insect corpse that Li Mo mentioned at the beginning finally appeared.
A liquidation force. It is precisely because of the large number of insect corpses that it has suffered heavy losses. But that's why the gathering place is. Got some corpses of worms.
Speaking of the insect corpse, Duan Xiao's face was a little heavy. Several other bigwigs also made straight faces. Obviously, before Li Mo came, this question had been exchanged.
Listening to Liu Yangguang, a staff officer of Liu who had some problems with him when Li Mo first came to Xingcheng, took over the conversation and sighed: "Although Xiao Li, you have already reminded us that we must guard against that kind of insect corpse. But to be honest, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I really couldn't have imagined that this thing was so powerful. ”
"No, I heard from the soldiers who participated in that encounter that the movement of the insect corpse is very amazing. It seems that the limits of ordinary people have been reached. But the most terrible thing is that this kind of insect corpse actually has simple thinking, and it already knows how to dodge in the face of attacks. In the past, we were not afraid of zombies, but it was because of these two defects of zombies. But today's insect corpses have made up for both of these shortcomings, and once ordinary warriors encounter them, it is already difficult to deal with. ”
The eldest Xu Zhanshan's face was full of worry, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Could it really be that God is going to kill us humans?" ”
Li Mo can fully understand the worries of several bigwigs, but these days. On the outskirts of the gathering place, there are already a lot of plants that can disperse insect corpses, so there is no need to worry too much about the insect corpses besieging the city.
But this is certainly not enough, the key is to let humans. Possess the power to counter this insect corpse.
I heard Liu Yangguang say again: "Xiao Li, now we are counting on your research institute, time waits for no one." ”
The reason why insect corpses are terrible. Naturally, because of the kind of parasite that lives in its body.
In fact, this parasite is not an alien creature, it is some insect on the earth. Because of the advent of the end times, a special gene in the gene chain is activated. caused the show to become a parasitic corpse worm.
As far as Li Mo knows, the advent of the end times will change all species around the world, and insects are no exception.
It's just that compared to other species, insects are a very unique existence.
Let's talk about parasitic corpse worms, this new kind of insects are actually not transformed from a certain kind of insects.
In a longer process of change than in other species. Almost all kinds of bugs have the potential to become parasitic corpse worms.
This statement sounds really hard to understand. After all, how can all kinds of bugs that don't want to do anything at all change into the same brand new species?
But in the time and space before Li Mo's rebirth, this conclusion was verified.
Because in the gene chains of different parasitic corpse worms, researchers have discovered a variety of genes that are native to the earth.
It is precisely because of this that human beings have confirmed that insects have a completely different evolutionary direction from other species.
However, just like other species, this bizarre covariant evolution of insects also has a certain chance of evolution.
Otherwise, if all the insects in the world become parasitic corpses, then there is really no hope for other species, including humans.
Looking at the front again, as a reborn person, Li Mo naturally knew the power of the insect corpse. But he knew better that for humans, insect corpses also represented opportunities.
He swept his gaze over Duan Xiao and the others, and said bluntly: "In the past few days, through the study of those parasites, our research institute has achieved some results. And we came to the conclusion that the parasitic corpse worm inside the worm corpse is actually an evolutionary body. ”
"That parasite is an evolutionary?" The crowd was amazed.
I couldn't help but think of the scene of watching Li Mo take out the parasitic corpse from a worm corpse a few days ago.
But I couldn't help but be a little suspicious that that kind of palm-sized, cicada-like black bug would actually be an evolution.
But at the same time, Duan Xiao and the others thought of another question.
At this time, in the face of the threat of insect corpses, the biggest problem that plagues human survivors is not that the number of evolutionaries is too small.
The evolutionary is the hope of mankind, the foundation of the acquired transplantation ability and the fusion of mutant genes.
But if that kind of parasite is also an evolutionary body, doesn't it mean that a large number of evolutionary crystals can be obtained by hunting?
The more Duan Xiao thought about it, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but ask, "What about the evolution crystal?" Do those bugs also have evolutionary crystals in their bodies? ”
Li Mo nodded: "Since it is an evolutionary body, there is naturally an evolutionary crystalline." ”
But before Duan Xiao and the others had time to be happy, they listened to his words again: "However, the evolutionary crystallization of insects is different from those in the body of evolutionary beasts. Perhaps because the bug's genes are relatively unique, which causes the evolutionary crystal to have congenital defects, we temporarily named it the worm crystal. ”
"Flaws? What flaws? ”
Faced with the eager questions of several bigwigs, Li Mo was still very indifferent and explained: "Although the evolution liquid extracted through insect crystals can also contribute to the evolution of ordinary people. However, this kind of evolutionary cannot perform pituitary transplantation, and the variant load of the gene chain is also limited, and only one variant gene can be fused. ”
This is where the congenital defect of the evolutionary who uses the insect crystal evolution liquid lies. And this kind of person in the previous time and space is called a subspecies evolutionary. (To be continued......)
